So my friend told me about this musical called Six. So I listened to its nine songs. One is called "Heart of Stone" and I immediately thought of "Burn". Before reading this, I encourage you to listen to the song the vocals are amazing. I kinda skip around with the lyrics, adding parts from "Burn" here and there. I don't own Hamilton: An American Musical nor Six: The Musical. Fun Fact, the Hamilton-Eacker duel was in 1801, so Philip was alive for the election of 1800, so Lin-Manuel had Philip die a year to soon!
Eliza crumbled the Reynolds Pamphlet which she held in her hand. She could hear her elder children in the other room crying, confused. Eliza has locked herself in her childhood room for days.
She threw the paper in the fire heating the room. She sat down at her desk and began writing a letter to her fool of a husband.
Dear A. Hamilton,
Words fail. Your actions have left me speechless. I thought you were the one, God was I wrong. But I took your hand, promised I'd withstand any blaze you'd throw my way. You can build be up, or tear me down. You can try but I'm unbreakable.
When the fire's burnt. When the wind has blown. When the water's dried, you'll find stone. My heart of stone. So I'm rereading the letters you wrote me. I'm searching and scanning for answers in every line, for some kind of sign, of when you were mine.
The world seemed to burn. Burn. The world has no right to my heart. The world has no place in our bed. They don't get to know what I said. I'm burning the memories. Burning the letters. That might have redeemed you. You have torn it all apart. Not only between us, but with the children. Philip, Angelica, James, John, William, and Elizabeth. They all are confused and agitated. They didn't ask for this. I didn't ask for this.
You have dug us into a deep unwanted hole. I saved every letter you wrote me. I'm searching and scanning for answers in every line. For some kind of sign, of when you were mine. You've got a good heart. But I know it changes. A restless tide, untameable. You came my way, I know a storm would come too. You'd lift me high, or let me fall.
I know it isn't fair, but I don't care. I hope that you burn.
Sincerely me,
E. Schuyler
She wasn't going to sign her letter with his name, so she signed with her late father's.
She had the note sent to Alex. He had written her back, begging her to come home from her parents. All the letters he received back were written and signed by Peggy.
I know this was short, but other than the letter, I really had no ideas for this. I'll probably come back and update it later. Idk, pls let me know what you think, i was just experimenting. Thank you for reading! Love you all!
